Rev Pat Robertson Accuses Chavez Again

Sometimes I would think that once burned, you would learn your lesson in making attacks on an elected head of state.

Not that Chavez is our cup of tea in the United States, he is certainly aligned with Cuba, and has threatened to stop exporting oil to the United States in the past.

Previously, Rev Pat Robertson has suggested that we should have assassinated Chavez.

Now, he is stating that Chavez gave a million dollars to Bin Laden after 9-11. Well if Chavez did do that, we should do more than assassinate him, draw and quarter him would be my suggestion. But first, I would like to see some validity to Rev Pat Robertson's claim. When asked for his sources according to 8 News in Richmond he responded:

"Well, sources that came to me. That's what I was told."

Chavez's government is considering to ask to extradite Rev Pat Robertson. With our dependence on foreign oil, and the need for Venezuelan oil (we receive 1.3 million barrels of oil daily from Venezuela) we wish that Rev Robertson would use some restraint.

Its one thing to say the people in New Orleans are sinners, and met God's wrath, we can deal with his in America statements. Its quite another when he makes accusations that extend well past our borders, and could have the potential of crippling our whole country.
